Myers-Briggs Personality Types

Today in class, the topic of the true self was brought up, and it reminded me of something I had read about: the Myers-Briggs Personality Types. Basically, there are 16 archetypal personalities based on 4 variable factors: Introversion/Extraversion, iNtuition/Sensing, Thinking/Feeling and Perceiving/Judging. Your type is the first letter of one of each pair. I, by my latest test, am an INFP:  an Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling and Perceiving person. INFPs, according to Wikipedia, "focus much of their energy on an inner world dominated by intense feeling and deeply held ethics. They seek an external life that is in keeping with these values. Loyal to the people and causes important to them, INFPs can quickly spot opportunities to implement their ideals. They are curious to understand those around them, and so are accepting and flexible except when their values are threatened."

There are actually a good number of people at Maeser I know the types of based on a Facebook quiz, but I won't reveal it here.

Here's a link to a quiz page:
